You could google is name to see what comes up, if the sentence was reported in a newspaper it may well be on the internet.

Much as you might care for your sisters welfare, perhaps you should accept that it's her decision? She might not thank you for interfering in her affairs. Try and be happy for her because I'm pretty sure that is what she will appreciate more than anything. Should things go pear shaped in the future then I'm sure that she will be grateful for your support. It might be hard for you to take a step back but sometimes it's for the best. If you don't you could risk losing the trust of the sister that you obviously love.

Get someone to pretend to be the man and ask for a Police Check from the police station. Used to cost £10 when I did it 10 years ago. Might be more now.

That's the only way. An FOI/DPA request, but it has to be agreed by him, and sent to his house.

Solicitors only get their clients previous convictions in relation to a current case. If you know the date of the last case, a solicitor can call the Court records and ask for details, but you wouldnt be able to directly.

let your sister make her own decisions. i agree with you it sounds like he is a waste of space and no you wouldm't want that for your sister, however if she finds out you have been meddling behind her back about her future husband the consequences on your part copuld be alot worse. just be there for her if things go wrong. if you still want to ahead and do this a solicitor is probably the best option

If your sister knows all this, and if they are getting married Im pretty sure she might do, then its her decision. Just dont interfere and alienate her to the point she might not come to you when she needs help. Hard as it is let her get on with it and be there if it goes wrong for her.

Some women out there would not be happy with anyone other than a total loser. I have first hand experience of this, my former best mate is one of these women. I spent hours of sleepless nights wondering what the hell she saw in this good for nothing bum. Thats the only answer they actually like bums. They wouldn't settle for anything less.
